Fancy Sweet Potato Pie

Crust Ingredients:

1/2 (14.1-oz.) package refrigerated piecrusts
Parchment paper
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten 
1 tablespoon whipping cream

Filling Ingredients: 

1/4 cup butter, melted 
1 cup sugar 
1/4 teaspoon salt 
3 large eggs 
3 cups lightly packed, cooked, mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 1/2 lb. sweet potatoes) 
1 cup half-and-half 
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Marshmallow Meringue Ingredients:
3 egg whites 
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt 
1/4 cup sugar 
1 (7-oz.) jar marshmallow crème 


Instructions:

Prepare crust: Preheat oven to 425°. Roll piecrust into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate; fold edges under, and crimp. Prick bottom and sides with a fork. Line piecrust with parchment paper; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 9 minutes. Remove weights and parchment paper.

Whisk together egg yolk and cream; brush bottom and sides of crust with yolk mixture. Bake 6 to 8 more minutes or until crust is golden. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350°.

Prepare filling: Stir together melted butter, 1 cup sugar, and next 2 ingredients in a large bowl until mixture is well blended. Add sweet potatoes and next 4 ingredients; stir until mixture is well blended. Pour sweet potato mixture into prepared piecrust. (Pie will be very full.)

Bake at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, shielding with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Transfer pie to wire rack, and cool completely (about 1 hour).

Prepare meringue: Beat egg whites and next 2 ingredients at high speed with a heavy-duty electric stand mixer until foamy. Gradually add sugar, 1 Tbsp. at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.

Beat one-fourth of marshmallow crème into egg white mixture; repeat 3 times with remaining marshmallow crème, beating until smooth (about 1 minute). Spread over pie.

Bake at 400° for 6 to 7 minutes or until meringue is lightly browned.

Note: Pie can be made up to a day ahead. Prepare recipe as directed through Step 4; cover and chill up to 24 hours. Proceed as directed in Steps 5 through 7.

Collard Greens with Ham

Ingredients: 1 ½ teaspoons of Kosher salt 2 pounds of collard greens; stemmed, washed in several changes of water, and coarsely chopped Chopped ham 1/4 cup chicken broth Instructions: Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a deep pot.  Add the salt and greens and stir until wilted.  Cover and cook until the greens are just tender (~7 minutes).  Drain in a colander.  Rinse the pot with cold water to cool and then refill with cold water.  Pour the greens into the cold water to stop the cooking process. Gather a handful of greens, lift out of water, and squeeze dry.   Roughly cut up the drained greens and sauté with your bacon fat and the ham.  All you gotta do, is add ¼ cup of chicken broth, cover for 2 minutes and you’re done!  Collards cooked this way aren’t overly bitter — perfectly tender, bright green, and delicious.
